Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Qing Lian let out a soft "huh," closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled as if she was perceiving something. After a long time, she opened her eyes, her expression slightly strange as she said, "There’s good news. Not long ago, I discovered a piece of information: the Kunpeng Demon Venerable has disappeared!"

Lu Xuanji said, "Disappeared? Could it be that he is hiding, planning to ambush me?"

Qing Lian replied strangely, "It’s not an ambush; he’s left the Hundred Thousand Mountains, vanished with the Kunpeng Race... seemingly heading to the Central State."

Lu Xuanji said, "Heading to the Central State, what kind of strategy is this? Shouldn’t he be ambushing us?"

Qing Lian closed her eyes again, perceiving for a moment before she opened them with joy in her smile: "Congratulations, speaking accurately, the Kunpeng Demon Venerable seems to fear you, appears to have fled the Hundred Thousand Mountains, escaping to Central State! In this battle, you have achieved victory without fighting!"

As she spoke, she revealed specific intelligence.

Lu Xuanji, puzzled, said, "Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, with serious injuries, and I can’t counter Half-Step Void Refining with secret techniques. He shouldn’t be taking advantage of the situation, but why has he run away? I should be the one running; how has it reversed? It’s hard to comprehend the thought process of Kunpeng Demon Venerable!"

Jin Xi laughed and said, "I understand the Kunpeng Demon Venerable’s thoughts. The Golden Crow Great Venerable died in the East Pole, and the East Pole fell by your hand. This means you also have the strength of Half-Step Void Refining. Even if he beats you now and occupies Chu Country, so what? When you return in hundreds of years, he will be the one who falls!"

"In that case, it’s better to escape and leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

"The Kunpeng Demon Venerable, with a sparse population not even reaching a thousand, consumes minimal resources even when leaving the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Moreover, as a leader of Half-Step Void Refining, wherever he goes, he’s a formidable figure, holding high power and rank, so why engage in a stalemate here with you?"

"Tell me, you’re merely Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation, yet you killed the East Pole. If you reach Sixth-Layer Divinity Transformation or Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation, would he have a surviving path then?"

Lu Xuanji said, "When I reach Sixth-Layer Divinity Transformation, I should be able to counter Half-Step Void Refining’s weaknesses. But right now, I can’t defeat Half-Step Void Refining. I could kill the East Pole, thanks to external aids..."

Jin Xi smiled and said, "We cultivators, who doesn’t rely on external aids in cultivating immortality? If the Spiritual Qi of the world vanished, our realms would drop too. Whether you use external aids or not, regardless, killing the East Pole is a fact! Facing an extraordinary talent when you can’t slay them, it’s better to retreat threefold!"

Listening to Jin Xi’s analysis, Lu Xuanji said speechlessly, "The Kunpeng Demon Venerable is too cowardly! Is he a Kunpeng or a turtle? Shouldn’t he fight to the end? Yet he retreated without a fight!"

Jin Xi laughed and said, "Many times, strengths are also weaknesses. The quantity of strengths equates to weakness. Brave ones often rush to death, impatient ones hasten to succeed, greedy ones favor profits, benevolent ones fall into indulgence, smart ones are often timid of troubles, trustworthy ones easily trust others, clean ones easily criticize subordinates, strategic minds easily vacillate, strong ones often become self-conceited, and timid ones tend to rely on others."

"The Kunpeng Demon Venerable is too smart, which inevitably leads to cowardice. Originally a Divine Beast, upon entering Divinity Transformation, his lifespan extends to ten thousand years; now entering Half-Step Void Refining, his lifespan further extends to twenty thousand years. If fortune favors, if luck is good, he even has the opportunity to enter Void Refining Realm!"

"Do you think someone like him is willing to die? Willing to fight to the death? I’ve only heard that poor people fight desperately, but rarely do rich people; low-level cultivators fight desperately, while high-level cultivators almost never do. High-level cultivators only urge low-level cultivators to fight desperately, but they won’t themselves."

"Not long ago, the Kunpeng Demon Venerable was unwilling to risk it all, now even more so."

Listening to this analysis, Lu Xuanji said, "Never thought the Kunpeng Demon Venerable would be so cowardly!"

...

Unimagined, yet what should happen still happened.

Due to the Kunpeng Demon Venerable’s retreat without engagement, Lu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

Since this one has fled, it means he doesn’t need to flee.

No need to wait hundreds of years to reclaim Chu Country for a life-and-death battle with the Kunpeng Demon Venerable.

Nevertheless, Lu Xuanji remained extremely cautious, activating arrays to protect everything, preventing the Kunpeng Demon Venerable from making a comeback for an ambush. He arranged things flawlessly, with no loopholes seen, whether the enemy employed covert schemes or overt strategies, he resisted it head-on.

Qing Lian deployed secret techniques, perceiving the Kunpeng Demon Venerable departing.

At the same time, other Demon Race Divinity Transformation cultivators also activated secret techniques, perceiving the departure of the Kunpeng Demon Venerable, causing a commotion in the previously calm Demon Race, the upper echelons brewed chaos.

Initially calculated, seizing the opportunity in the midst of the Human Race’s great battle, the chance of bloodshed between Lu Family and Celestial Spirit Sect within Chu Country, to bite a chunk of meat from Chu Country, but now it seems unnecessary, as top leaders have fled, what are they resisting?

Would they deliver themselves during a crisis, giving the Human Race heads?

Demon Race Divinity Transformation cultivators conversed, after ten days of dialogue, part of the Demon Race withdrew, began repositioning elsewhere; another part initiated strategic withdrawal, compressing some forces, going into defense.

Chu Country buzzed with commotion, after which the offensive began.

Chu Country dispatched strong figures to assault the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Upon learning the news, Yue Country also deployed cultivators, starting attacks on the Hundred Thousand Mountains, while Wu Country’s cultivators also moved in, starting the assault on Death Mountain.

In the lands of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, battles took place among the Demon Race, Chu Country cultivators, Wu Country cultivators, Yue Country cultivators, and others; with bloodshed and slaughter. As Demon Race engaged in strategic withdrawal, the Human Race fell into internal conflict, with Wu Country cultivators, Yue Country cultivators, Chu Country cultivators and others clashing for territory.

External warfare just ended, yet internal warfare commenced.

The Human Race, up and down, indeed playing vigorously.

The only relief was that the fighting mainly involved Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, without Divinity Transformation cultivators involved.

The scale of the conflict remained restrained.

Though escalation into further warfare always posed a possibility.

As for the Demon Race, ironically, they became tranquil, watching the Human Race internal struggle unfold, akin to observing tigers fight from a vantage point.

Some Human Race cultivators proposed jointly attacking to eradicate the Demon Race, but such suggestions were quickly dismissed by the upper echelon.

The Demon Race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains cannot be eradicated.

Because eradicating the Demon Race would result in the Human Race, losing their enemy, plunging into internal warfare. Eliminating the enemy doesn’t end the battle; fresh enemies would emerge, launching further conflicts.

Leaving some Demon Race left to spark hatred, aiding Human Race’s internal unity.

Similarly, historically, the Hundred Thousand Mountains’ Demon Race would attack the Human Race yet never wholly eradicated them, because if the Human Race was wiped out, the Demon Race would face fragmentation and internal warfare.

For the unity of the Demon Race, the Human Race must exist.

In history, after the Demon Race captured Chu Country, they would establish protected zones in certain areas, raising the Human Race therein.

Extensive wild rearing, such Human Race possessed wildness, making them tastier.

...

In the moment of bizarre situations in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

In Yue Country, at the Joyful Union Demon Sect.

There, pink mist filled the air, licentious sounds echoed, handsome men and beautiful women assembled, and each exuded a terrifying aura.

Here, there were no ugly men or women.

This too is the rule of Joyful Union Demon Sect, the Joyful Union Demon Vein is a group of aesthetics-obsessed people, who allow disciples with poor aptitude, poor enlightenment, but must have handsome male disciples and beautiful female disciples. Ugly individuals are not allowed to join the Joyful Union Demon Sect.

At this moment, enchanting sounds resounded within the sect, with the sound of rhythmic clapping echoing continuously, seeming musical.

Yin and Yang transformed, Yin and Yang engaged in dual cultivation, entangling within, unable to extricate oneself.

Many indulged in the pleasure.

Atop the mountain, a handsome man gazed distantly, deep in thought.
